in Fig. 5 l have slmwn a modified form of mmmi; for die third point suppori, the same eansisting'of a fixed element 10 having ailipi 11 forming a groove which reoeiv the flange of a removable plate 12. Whan the plate 12 is arrangad in position and swung, ii: is secured in 3132506 by a ball; 13 and in this m forms a rigid mount for the third point support. Th6 advantage of these separable mounts resides in time iact that the third point support, if ingura'd in service, can be as would hang mjie used where the third point suppoi hiua iiveied to the spring plank; What I claim is: i. in a third paint support beams, the combination of an inclined track,

a brake beam located under said track, and ii a carrier on the and ml. the brake lever post or suppm'i; sf said be in feisuspending the same under said track.
